Anyone with a brain will avoid Shanghai and especially the optional Tokyo this year. Such was Nadal's fear of Murray on hard after the destruction in 2011 he withdraw from the Miami SF for example. The psychological scars run deep. Note how Federer after being destroyed by Murray in Shanghai in 2010 hasn't reached a hard Slam final since.....

quite right, federer still has sleepless nights about that shanghai final. he takes this pent up frustration out on wawrinka

as for nadal, he has long term stomach problems as a result of that force fed bagel last year. that pain isn't eased by any amount of asian prize money

djokovic is wisely keeping it low key in asia, knows he has the Year End No 1 sewn up thanks to federer dithering like an old lady
